A while back, I shared some BTS footage, and now the full video is up on YouTube. But after witnessing the What Women Want Summit this past weekend, it’s clear—when women are in the right spaces, they create real, powerful shifts! ✨🔥 From using their voices boldly to showcasing their brilliance, Dada Culture made its debut, and the energy was electric. This moment wasn’t just about presence—it was about impact. And if recent conversations have shown us anything, it’s that the right women in leadership don’t just participate; they transform. This is just the beginning. Women are driving the narrative, reshaping power, and making sure their voices aren’t just heard but felt. #ItsOfficialWithJanetMbugua #DadaCulture #WomenLeadChange #bts
“Before you find your tribe, make peace with your reflection. The spaces you thrive in start with the relationship you have with yourself.” The full conversation is still marinating, but @lushangela_ set the table at Dada Culture’s debut and the What Women Want Summit. Are you aligned or just present? #DadaCulture #WhatWomenWant #MoveWithIntention #ItsOfficialWithJanetMbugua
I co-host a daily show, and almost every week, sometimes more, a femicide case makes its way into the news cycle. Sometimes it’s not just one, but several. It’s heartbreaking. It’s terrifying. And it has to stop. This year alone: 129 women. Killed. Not by strangers. Not in war. At home. In schools. At work. By people who claimed to love them. This is femicide — and in Kenya, it’s not even recognized as a crime. From babies to grandmothers, women are being silenced every day. For saying no. For speaking up. For simply existing. It doesn’t start with murder. It starts with control, abuse, and silence. This April, speak up. Demand justice.

Last week, during Fixing The Nation, my co-hosts (Mariam and Eric) and I shared an emotional moment on air while speaking with Telvin Mburu. His story, which has since gone viral, prompted a profound reflection: When was the last time you helped someone—simply because you could? Telvin’s act of kindness towards Viola wasn’t driven by wealth or status, but by something far more powerful: a heart that still feels. In a nation where many are in survival mode, stories like these remind us that helping doesn’t require much—just willingness and heart. (P.S. Apologies for the mix-up in the video—I was probably a bit sleepy when I said ‘Friday’ instead of ‘Wednesday’ at the start.) #FixingTheNation airs weekdays, 6AM to 10AM on NTV Kenya, Nation FM and online. #ItsOfficialwithJanetMbugua #BTS #Compassion #NotAllHeroesWearCapes Filmed and edited by @jmmediaavenueproductions

I’m a Journalist —but I’m also a mother. And what happened to the students of Butere Girls is beyond outrageous. Tear-gassing schoolgirls because of a play? Arresting their playwright? Inflicting fear and chaos on children for daring to tell the truth through art? This is not just an attack on students—it’s an assault on creativity, free expression, and the right to feel safe in school. Silencing young voices won’t erase the truth. It only deepens the wound. We must speak up. For the girls. For the future. For justice.

I watched the film ‘Home’ last night, @adelleonyango’s directorial debut— and I’m ready to watch it again! Home isn’t just a film; it feels like a reawakening. It’s a tender, powerful reflection on identity, belonging, and so much more, brought to life through raw storytelling and beautiful visuals. Oh and the music! 🙌🏾 In many ways, it invites us to return to ourselves. Glad I was able to congratulate Adelle after the screening at @unseen.nairobi. The film is coming soon to digital platforms—you’ll understand why should all watch this important story. Details soon! Well done, Adelle 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 #HOMEfilm #AdelleOnyango #KenyanCinema #WomenInFilm #SupportAfricanFilm #StorytellingAsHealing

Adulting: the scam we never signed up for. 😮💨 One minute, life was all play; now it’s bills, deadlines, workouts, and trying to balance it all. But how do you prioritize what’s urgent vs. what’s important? And where does self-care fit in? Let’s break it down.⬇️ #BTSWithJanet #AdultingChronicles #BalancingLife #ItsOfficialWithJanetMbugua
Yesterday on Fixing the Nation, we interviewed former AG and Public Service CS Justin Muturi — and today, his revelations are making headlines nationwide. While shocking, his statements largely confirm what many Kenyans have felt for years: leadership in Kenya prioritizes power over public service, reinforcing the cycle of politics and corruption. His words are making waves, but we asked — why now? If he knew the depth of corruption, why not speak up sooner or step aside? You can read or watch the full interview for his reasons, and learn more about the broader issues we discussed with him. The key takeaway: We, the people, must keep the momentum, stay informed, stay vocal, and vote for leadership that serves the public.

What happens when you pause, reflect, and choose YOU? At Dada Culture: Shifting Conversations, which took place during the recently concluded #WhatWomenWantSummit, the room was filled with powerful realizations—introspection, self-prioritization, and going beyond limits for yourself. Here’s a sneak peek into the takeaways that left us thinking. The full conversation? It’s simmering… and trust us, you’ll want to watch this space. #DadaCulture #ShiftingConversations #ItsOfficialWithJanetMbugua
Ever felt like you’re running on emotional fumes? Like you’re pouring so much into others that there’s nothing left for yourself? That’s compassion fatigue—a silent burnout that creeps in when you care deeply. If you’re in healthcare, caregiving, or going through a season of life that demands your constant care and energy, here’s your reminder: you matter too. Let’s flip the script—talk to me about how you pour back in to you, because self-care isn’t selfish; it’s the fuel that keeps your compassion alive. 💙 #RechargeToGive #ItsOfficialWithJanetMbugua #bts #CompassionFatigue Filmed and edited by @jmmediaavenueproductions
